The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, London, supported the Hong Kong Association to hold a luncheon on May 10 (London time) on Hong Kong's position as a forward-looking international financial centre. The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Mr Eddie Yue, was the keynote speaker.
In his address, Mr Yue highlighted the resilience of Hong Kong's financial and monetary system, as well as the strength of its broader financial ecosystem, which have been an important underpinning of Hong Kong's status as an international financial centre. He also shared the latest developments and opportunities in Hong Kong, including the continued opening-up of the financial market of Mainland China and the emerging trends of sustainability and fintech innovation.
Following his remarks, Mr Yue took questions and exchanged views with audience on topics including central bank digital currency, transition finance, financial regulation, and the Cross-boundary Wealth Management Connect Scheme.
The event was attended by the Minister of State in the Department for Business and Trade, Lord Dominic Johnson, and over 80 participants, including government officials, parliamentarians, and senior representatives from the financial, business and legal circles.
